During his four seasons at the University of Kansas (2021\u201324), Bryant totaled 128 tackles (107 solo), 11 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 13 interceptions\u2014including two returned for touchdowns\u201422 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a score. He became the first player in Kansas history to be named First Team All-Big 12\u00a0in three consecutive seasons. Known for his outspoken personality, Bryant made headlines on draft night when his name wasn\u2019t called as early as expected. Shortly after being selected, he voiced his frustration on Instagram, posting, \u201cCrazy if you think 26 corners better than me.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"2\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-0bc74027a8ff49ec98dd9dd500be963f\" data-google-query-id=\"CNWAzbXr0Y0DFUPwTAIdWEglVQ\" data-ad-size=\"0x0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"is-fallback-player m-in-content-ad\">\n<div id=\"fa091ec0-2e82-447d-aaf3-2ada88fe08e7\" class=\"pbs\" data-exs-config=\"{&quot;reporting&quot;:{&quot;subId&quot;:&quot;athlonsports.com&quot;,&quot;utmContent&quot;:&quot;pxp-654-aff:a&quot;,&quot;subId2&quot;:&quot;tm-ci02f842803000275d&quot;},&quot;customParams&quot;:{&quot;channel&quot;:&quot;athlonsports.com&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;tm-ci02f842803000275d&quot;,&quot;correlator&quot;:2281402796625723,&quot;direct&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;terms&quot;:&quot;NFL Rookies,NFC South,Lamar Jackson,AFC North,Lamar Jackson Ravens&quot;,&quot;pagetype&quot;:&quot;article&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;\/nfl\/atlanta-falcons\/cobee-bryant-snapchat-meme-lamar-jackson-james-harden&quot;,&quot;pod&quot;:&quot;1&quot;},&quot;macros&quot;:{&quot;gpid&quot;:&quot;\/88059007\/nfl\/video\/preroll-0&quot;}}\" data-pbs-root=\"true\" data-pbs-position=\"sticky\" data-pbs-device=\"desktop\" data-pbs-video-title=\"true\" data-pbs-sticky=\"bottom-right\" data-pbs-size=\"small\" data-pbs-content=\"playing\" data-pbs-player=\"content\" data-pbs-slot=\"ended\" data-pbs-content-type=\"mrss\">\n<div id=\"exp_5c3d9795-903c-4335-8355-a14fdb565fdf\" class=\"pbs__player shown\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"application\" aria-label=\"Video Player\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__wrapper falcon\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__toolbar-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__progress-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__progress\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"slider\" aria-label=\"Video Progress bar\" aria-valuemin=\"0\" aria-valuenow=\"2.201028\" aria-valuemax=\"123.166667\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__progress-bullet exp-ui__animation-running\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"exp-ui__progress-background\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"exp-ui__title-and-cta-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__animated-title-wrapper exp-ui__state__shown\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"exp-ui__animated-title\">College Stars Choosing NIL Over the Draft?

The post stirred controversy due to the implied comparison. Harden, despite being regarded as one of the most talented players in\u00a0NBA\u00a0history, has faced criticism for falling short in key playoff moments. Jackson, a two-time\u00a0NFL\u00a0MVP, has also been scrutinized by analysts and fans who believe his performance dips in the postseason.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"2\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-7452d3df53694921a794cb9a87ee4e31\" data-google-query-id=\"CKHQzLXr0Y0DFUcjewcdR7An2A\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nfl\/atlanta-falcons_6__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-twitter-embed\"><\/div>\n<p>Jackson has yet to respond to the post, staying consistent with his usual approach of not addressing criticism publicly.
